ID help-but no picture:S

[michelle]

okay, so i have discovered about 30 little "things" on my rock. I will try to describe them well because I can't get a picture of them, and "things" is rather vague:)
You know on the devils hand coral, the little tree like structures that come out? about 1/8 to 1/4 inch long? Them. Looks just like it. But they are on 3 seperate rocks.
What are they? Are they reef safe? do they spread quickly?

What color are they? Are they soft or hard?

 

[simpleman]

Sounds like feather dusters.

not sure. They look soft. They are on the rock my devils hand is on mainly. They don't really look like feather dusters to me. I thought te same thing.

Google "aiptasia" and "majano" and see if it looks like either of those.

Colonial hydroids perhaps since you say they look like devils hand polyps.

Wow they seem to be either
VERMITID SNAILS
or
COLONIAL HYDROIDS

most likely the hydroids since I never see the web associated with the snails
now what?:S

The vermitid snails throw a web to catch their food.
